This was superbly edited. Matching the script to clips of the show must’ve taken ages and an encyclopedic knowledge of the show.
-
Good News Everyone!!!
-
The scary door intro was prime. So excited for this sequel
-
Futurama will always have a special place with me. I swear a quarter of their ratings come from me rewatching it over and over again! 😅
-
"...he had to cut his writing staff in half." Hmm, sounds expensive. Medical and legal costs.
-
As one in the voice/audio industry, I really appreciate you drawing attention to the amazing actors behind the lines--and to the gall the industry has in ignoring the value a VA brings. Thanks!
-
The outro is so bittersweet. We really might just lose all that talent for an unprecedented generational cognitive demise
-
That Box Network clip of them hitting themselves and jabbering in gibberish is my single favorite thing the Futurama team has ever produced. I would love to have been a fly on the wall when the network censor first reacted to it.
-
When it comes to Futurama, I preferred watching it on DVD as there was always so many bonus features that kept it fresh. The commentary tracks alone were worth the money. As for streaming, I can't say as I care for it beyond sites like YouTube. Physical media will always be better as far as I'm concerned and I'm not interested in paying monthly subscription fees.
-
Newest FUTURAMA episodes are okay and feels like the writers havent quite gotten their feet under them yet. It feels a lot like season 1 where it was fine and showed some potential but its not quite there yet.
-
This show is the very definition of a hidden gem and I mean that in every way you can interpret it
-
The introduction was marvelous, you all deserve a raise!
-
I know people have been complaining about each revival not being as good as the original since they started but as someone who has been watching since day 1 I submit that the show has always been 10/10 on average and I will welcome each and every time they decide to bring it back. Each episode of Futurama is a gift (just like "It was a Sh*t Show)!
-
I’m a simple man: playing the clip of Hermes getting his head cut off as you talk about making small cuts for TV, chefs kiss
-
Always a pleasant surprise when a new episode drops
-
Thanks for unraveling the rights situation. I remember reading the odd article every couple of years that Futurama has changed its distributor yet again, and this paints the complete picture!
-
They will never be paid enough, what they bring into this world is truly beautiful. There simply isn't enough riches in the universe to give them.
-
It feels like the budget is even lower for the Hulu reboot. I love how the first episode aired right during the strike and was a merciless criticism of how overworked and underrespected writers and actors are.
-
One day artists will be paid what their art is truly worth.. This was a masterpiece of a video!
-
It's remarkable to see a show going from network TV, to direct to DVD, then cable and finally streaming services. Most long running TV series maintain their presence in the same place.
